TV news anchor Chris Cuomo said Wednesday night after brother Andrew Cuomo was soundly defeated in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary by democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani that the Democratic Party is "dead."
“That [Democratic] party is dead,” said Cuomo, a NewsNation anchor. "What will it be reborn as? We will see. The winner is an open socialist and the Democratic Party is now just that: socialistic.”
Andrew Cuomo is a former New York governor. He resigned from office in August 2021, amid a sexual harassment investigation.
